Lyrics
Is that a strain
Questioning if something is a source of tension or a subtle expression of happiness
Or a delicate smile
Wondering if this expression is balanced and well-proportioned
Built to proportion?
Speculating about the construction of this expression
It might as well have been you
Suggesting the possibility of the listener being involved
And all the things you do
Referring to the actions or behaviors of the listener
Somedays
Some days
I'm waiting
Expressing anticipation or waiting
For my pulse to calm down
Waiting for a decrease in heart rate
Into the low hundreds
Expecting a calming of pulse into a lower range of beats per minute
I shake the shirt loose off my back
Physically shaking a shirt off the body
Day and night, year in year out
Continual repetition of experiences throughout time
I discovered my sweet dreams
Realizing personal desires tainted by immorality or wrongdoing
Of corruption deep inside myself
Discovering inherent corrupt aspects within oneself
I should have stood in carny
Should have engaged in a carnival-like experience or ended up being an object of display
Or end up preserved upon your shelf
Risking being preserved or stuck in a certain state by someone else
Day and night, year in year out
Continual repetition of experiences throughout time
Will you ever understand
Questioning if the listener will ever comprehend a particular perspective
That I'm only an object
Expressing a sense of being treated as an object rather than a person
Day and night year in year out
Continual repetition of experiences throughout time
I'm just trying to be the subject
Striving to be the main focus or central aspect
Where others see the abstract
Seeing reality where others perceive something abstract
I only see the truth
Perceiving truth while others might not
And that has always been
Always seeking to relive or recapture youth
To repeat my youth
No specific meaning provided
